Hearty Navy Bean and Ham Soup
Slow-simmered navy beans and savory diced ham are combined with aromatic vegetables in a rich, smoky broth that warms the soul.
INGREDIENTS
1 tsp extra virgin olive oil
0.5 cup diced yellow onion
0.5 cup diced carrots
0.5 cup diced celery
1 tsp minced garlic
4 oz lean diced ham
1 cup cooked navy beans
2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
0.5 tsp dried thyme
1 whole bay leaf
0.25 tsp sea salt
0.25 tsp black pepper
PREPARATION
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the diced onion, carrots, and celery to the pot and sauté for 5-7 minutes until the vegetables are softened and the onions are translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and diced ham, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the ham begins to lightly brown and becomes fragrant.
Pour in the cooked navy beans and chicken broth, then add the dried thyme and the whole bay leaf.
Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then immediately reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the bay leaf from the pot and discard it.
Season the soup with sea salt and black pepper, then serve hot in deep bowls.
